On 17 June, a group of Year 6 pupils was invited to Mayfield School for a day of Science challenges. The topic was forensics. Team Holmewood had to solve a case by analysing fingerprints and handwriting, blood testing, chromatography of ink and flame testing. We learned a lot and had fun, thank you Mayfield School for having us! Cecilia Sanchez de Norville
Four Year 6 pupils set off to Worth for their annual inter-schools maths challenge. The team tackled five different challenges throughout the day, testing both their mathematical knowledge and collaborative skills.
One highlight was the shuttle round, where the team split into pairs. Pair 2 could only begin their question after Pair 1 had solved theirs and passed on the answer—making accuracy and communication essential.
The pupils worked exceptionally hard throughout the day and quickly learned the importance of reading questions carefully and double-checking answers as a team. Their efforts paid off with a well-deserved 2nd place—just 5 marks behind the winners, out of a possible 284! Clare Bennett
There is nothing as delightful, or as guaranteed to get you feeling Christmassy, as an EYFS nativity!
Tuesday’s performance didn’t fail to disappoint. The children poured their energy into their lines and sang their songs brilliantly. The staff encouraged (and occasionally gently cajoled) like professional stage managers and there were the odd bonus moments when things ever-so-slightly didn’t go to plan.
Well done to all the children and staff who gave us such a treat on Tuesday with Baarmy Bethlehem. It was pure joy from start to finish!
